All Very Sweet...



White Gold is an ambitious, site-specific performance set in Greenock’s iconic Sugar Sheds. Brought to the warehouse for storing, sifting, refining and presenting, White Gold is woven together from vivid and touching stories gathered across Inverclyde.

As audiences walk through the show, artists, performers and 200 volunteers will bring narratives to life through drama, movement, original music and breathtaking aerial performance. Surprising, poignant and deeply moving, White Gold gives the community of Greenock top billing as the nation’s stars.

An original creation conceived and overseen by Mark Murphy, directed by Simone Jenkinson and Joseph Traynore of Cuerda Producciones. It is produced by Iron Oxide and includes Cuerda Producciones from Argentina, All or Nothing Aerial and DJs/musicians Tigerstyle. Part of the Glasgow 2014 Cultural Programme.

MORE SUGAR AND COMMONWEALTH TALES....


As well as the White Gold project, Absent Voices continues to tell the story of the Sheds and our community in beautiful, interesting ways. One of the project artists, Alastair Cook will shortly be teaming up with The Dutch Gable House for a short residency in the historic building.
And Magic Torch's  own Commonwealth project 13 Commonwealth Tales, has begun, preparing two books for publication later in the year, retelling commonwealth folklore. The books will launch late Summer.
